@Winnie Lei Assuming it will be the same in your neck of the woods, but as an investor and a licensed agent here in CT I have seen people close deals with the following online auction sites:Auction.com - these properties are typically not listed on the MLS in my area and can be a good way to get a deal if you are persistent.

Hey @Lei Lu what type of issues are you running into regarding financing on the second STR?

@Man Le I just sent you a DM with a podcast episode we did about Aurora and then another episode we did on Naperville with BP's very own @Josh Mitchell

Quote from @Lei Lo: Hello All,I am newbie to real estate investing but learning a lot reading the forums here and from the webinars. 

@Michael Le I agree the downside risk may outweigh the benefits.
